Ode to Salmon Run 

i think its great how everyone lives different splatoon lives but somehow comes together to have the same shared salmon run experience somehow lmao

“That must've been terrifying. If you're going to have nightmares, company policy is to have them off the clock.”

i absolutely love how everyone's eyes are stylized differently

I relate to both the poor neurotic octoling and the dead-eyed, tired inkling so freakin' much. EDIT: Wait, no, I relate to ALL of these dorks.

That last inkling being eaten by a Maw, with everyone else dead, just being too slow to throw that bomb…. It’s like looking into a mirror. It’s scary.

In the last game, salmon run felt like a fun mode, but now it just feels like a job.

This one single short animation has so much damn personality, it's comparable to the game itself, simply incredible. Continue doing more of these mate, adequate job so far ^^.

this is my favourite salmon run thing ever! The style is great, the timing is so fun and no-one inking the walls hurts on a personal level

I love how each character is drawn uniquely to represent their lives even their eyes are drawn different it's charming.

Can’t stop rewatching this video. My greatest weakness is videos with editing that perfectly sync to their music.

I have never seen an animation describe the salmon run experience so damn well before lmfao

i saw this on twitter and was laughing through the entire time, it's so goofy and funny! i love how charmingly the characters are draw

This is wonderful, everyone should know about this

No joke, no hyperbole, this is peak Chaos Carnival energy.

This has to be the most personality I've ever seen crammed into 4 characters in this short of a time. I was able to relate to literally all of them.

I love how much you managed to convey about the characters from those flashes right at the start

I can't get over how it ends so abruptly LMAO, not even just how the team wipes so suddenly but how the end screen is only up for like half a measure of that doofy B-section before it cuts off

I love this waaay to much. Perfect representation of how the actual game is

This has got to be one of the greatest things I have ever seen come out of the Splatoon fandom.

banger video

The annoyed, experienced one is quite literally me. My inkling wears those goggles and has that hairstyle, and I'm always so fucking done with my teammates bullshit.

Ok the timing is immaculate and I’ve never actually noticed the subtle changes in the music before you accentuated them with the animation! Awesome work!

This is so good! I love the amount of personality you managed to stuff into these 55 seconds, looking forward to more!

This deserves so much for the time and effort that was obviously put into this

This captures the starting feeling once the time to go to work screen starts the sinking feeling once you notice your teammates having a little bit of a internet/skill issue the stress once things start to look bad and the compleat disappointment seeing the that’s a wrap screen

this animation is so great, it really brings more life to the splatoon characters! Keep up the good work.

Omg I love the sketches of one of them trying to explain all the night modes

if salmon run was a show, this would be the theme song

There’s a INSANE amount of personality here and I love how you perfectly (and creatively) matched up the flow of the animation to the beat of the music! Also funny how the Splash is the one yelling at the Charger, Luna and Brush to paint the walls lmao.

This video deserves so many more views! It’s absolutely shining with charm!

This feels like the intro of a 2000s Cartoon Newtwork show and I’m obsessed

Perfectly encapsulates salmon run, I love this

beem this is incredible 😍😍 there's so much personality in the characters and the frames changing on the increasing notes is so satisfying. I think I've clicked on this every time it's shown up in my feed 🤩🤩🤩

Dead eyes yelling at everyone for not painting the damned walls is the most relatable part for me XD

I love how this literally illustrates the "every measure adds an extra beat" gimmick of Chaos Carnival's opening

I love the little details like how one of them freaks about the walls and it switching between the stages in the beginning

めちゃくちゃ好き！！

i think this might be my favorite splatoon video ever

Chaos Carnival is the BEST darn descriptor for this hell mode I've ever heard.

Yep, that basically summed up my Salmon Run experience most of the time.

I'm excited to see more animations like this from you! I love the difference in all the characters, and how goofy they all are, in the chaos that is Salmon Run!

The inkling with expirience yelling at their friends to paint the walls is just like me with my fruends, fr, fr...

Summed up salmon run impossibly well all in one great animation

I love how well you times things with Chaos Carnival. This is just too good.

probably one of my favourite videos on youtube, amazing job! really summarizes salmon run lol

Salmon run might very well be capable of giving actual PTSD

I feel truly represented 😭 this is perfect

I relate to the last squid in the beginning. Salmon Run is hell without strategies

Poor Tired Inkling...To be splatted just two days before retirement.

It truly be like that. Great animation, you caught salmon runs' struggle perfectly 🐟

the timing of everything youve put in here is perfect im obsessed with this

this is so cute and fun!! it reminds me of some of my own splat ocs who have a very similar dynamic during salmon run, if i ever find the time I’d love to make my own animatic inspired by this one!

salmon run is such a painful and unique mode you could actually write a poem/ode to it

Me and the boys walking to do Salmon Run when spawning grounds is in rotation knowing damn straight we are going to get clobbered: (Banger video by the way!)

HOW IS THIS SO UNDERRATED OMG... must've been so hard to come up with all the different shots

The animations and the characters are so expresive. cool splatoon animation Amazing.

Comment for the algorythm & sharing with every splatoon fan I know, this is WONDERFUL and the characters are SO DAMN CHARMING!!! It perfectly scratches the splatoon itch in my little squid brain

This sums up salmon run to a tee. I loved it, I watched it 3 times. 4.

Me and my friends playing salmon run for the first time, pure chaos

An absolute killer first upload! I was surprised about the quality of the animation! Subscribed :)

Relatable. Too relatable lol. We all must have been in the same shift together LOL

Gotta love how one of the inklings got mad that their co workers because they diddnt ink the walls

An accurate depiction of salmon run

As a loyal Splatoon Salmon run player I can confirm this is what every match is exactly like for every Splatoon player

*"I'm not gonna sugarcoat it..."*

This is so cool! I love the little scene of one of them explaining battle strategies. Cant wait to see more!

I like the part where they're all slacking while serious inkling is trying to hold a meeting before they go down because it's just like real life work meetings lol And the garbage weapon rollout too, classic Grizzco. Luna blaster some sniper or other Inkbrush and then the token good weapon (I think that's a splash?)

Absolute perfect use of the music..

This masterpiece keeps popping up on my recommended and I love it!

I actually played this on .25 speed to appreciate all the stills. Love how much effort was put into even frames that flash on screen for a fraction of a second.

This video explains how it feels to work during Salmon Run shifts.

Thoroughly enjoyed this little animation. Thank you!

I love the frustration of not painting the area once you arrive 😭😭💖

love it, really great. I love your style, its unique. And your sense of editing too. Would love to see a full version beyond the storyboard. very cool

“DO YOUR JOB!!” - mr grizz

I came for splatoon, and I came back for all the rapid fire camera shots.

THIS IS AMAZING 😂 And nice work making the whole animation go to the beat of the song. Great work

I love how the experienced squid told everyone else to ink the walls but didn't do it themself with the splashomatic

This animatic is *chef's kiss*

That was awesome! I loved the expressions and the chaos you managed to fit into less than a minute! You have gained a subscriber :)

I can't stress how relatable this is

ALSO I LOVE THIS ART STYLE SO MUCH WHAT. instant sub

This is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I am amazed by every beautiful aspect, concept and piece of art in this video. Loved it thoroughly, the four different players is too relatable, to me as a whole person. Having the experience of Sammin’ has been awesome. Thanks for making this timeless piece of nostalgia.

Nobody The Agents during Salmon Run:

"Don't be afraid, salmon can smell fear."

Eyup, that's definitely it. Perfect summary, cute drawings, damn good animation.

I loved everything about this, 10/10 job, dude

Not enough subs, likes, views, etc. This is so damn cute and fun!

The music is just making me vibe

This is incredible, love the style and the humor!

This video is awesome! I've lost track of how many times I've watched it!

This is incredible and far too accurate

I love how chaotic this animation is. The expressions are great. Keep up the excellent work.

I don’t know who these guys are, but I love em.
